Field data and mapping software for restoration and eco-development.

We fly drone surveys, process the data, and build the web maps and dashboards that teams work from.

What We Do

Geospatial software and consulting for restoration and eco-development.

From our base in Costa Rica, we process geospatial data, build web maps, and design the interfaces people use to work with them. We work with restoration organizations and eco-developers.

Data Processing Pipelines

Clean, transform, and analyze imagery and vector data.

Interactive Web Mapping

Build fast map front ends with MapLibre and Cesium.

Human-Centered Interfaces

Design clear, usable dashboards in React and Next.js.

Solutions

Built for restoration and eco-development.

Where we are

Based in Costa Rica's Río Machuca valley.

Pangea Labs works from San Mateo, Alajuela, in the proto-cloud forest of the Río Machuca valley. Our field surveys, drone flights, and software all start here.

We work with La Colectiva Valle Machuca, a community organization caring for the territory and the river. Our mapping and monitoring support the restoration of the Río Machuca watershed.
